Quantitative comparison of some aesthetic factors among rivers
Luna Bergere Leopold
1969, Circular 620
It is difficult to evaluate the factors contributing to aesthetic or nonmonetary aspects of a landscape. In contrast, aspects which lend themselves to cost-benefit comparisons are now treated in a routine way. As a result, nonmonetary values are described either in emotion-loaded words or else are mentioned and thence forgotten.The...
Mercury in soil gas and air--A potential tool in mineral exploration
Joseph Howard McCarthy, W.W. Vaughn, R. E. Learned, J. L. Meuschke
1969, Circular 609
The mercury content in soil gas and in the atmosphere was measured in several mining districts to test the possibility that the mercury content in the atmosphere is higher over ore deposits than over barren ground. At Cortez, Nev., the distribution of anorhalous amounts of mercury in the air collected...
Hydrogeologic information on the Glorieta Sandstone and the Ogallala Formation in the Oklahoma Panhandle and adjoining areas as related to underground waste disposal
James Haskell Irwin, Robert B. Morton
1969, Circular 630
The Oklahoma Panhandle and adjacent areas in Texas, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico have prospered because of the development of supplies of fresh water and of oil and gas. The Ogallala and, in places, Cretaceous rocks produce fresh water for irrigation, public supply, and domestic and stock use through approximately...
Asbestos occurrence in the Eagle C-4 quadrangle, Alaska
Helen Laura Foster
1969, Circular 611
An asbestos occurrence was discovered in a remote part of the Eagle quadrangle, Alaska, in the summer of 1968 during geologic reconnaissance in connection with the U.S. Geological Survey's Heavy Metals program. The exposed part of the deposit consists of large joint blocks of serpentine which are cut by closely...
Scientific or rule-of-thumb techniques of ground-water management--Which will prevail?
Charles Lee McGuinness
1969, Circular 608
Emphasis in ground-water development, once directed largely to quantitatively minor (but sociologically vital) service of human and stock needs, is shifting: aquifers are treated as possible regulating reservoirs managed conjunctively with surface water. Too, emphasis on reducing stream pollution is stimulating interest in aquifers as possible waste-storage media. Such management...
Disposal of liquid wastes by injection underground--Neither myth nor millennium
Arthur M. Piper
1969, Circular 631
Injecting liquid wastes deep underground is an attractive but not necessarily practical means for disposing of them. For decades, impressive volumes of unwanted oil-field brine have been injected, currently about 10,000 acre-feet yearly. Recently, liquid industrial wastes are being injected in ever-increasing quantity. Dimensions of industrial injection wells range widely...
Seismic activity during the 1968 test pumping at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal disposal well
Donald B. Hoover, J.A. Dietrich
1969, Circular 613
During the 1968 pumping tests at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal disposal welt, the U.S. Geological Survey was responsible for monitoring earthquakes occurring in the area of the arsenal and making chemical analysis of the fluids removed, three criteria were established to suspend the pumping if anomalous earthquake activity occurred during...
Results of geological and geochemical investigations in an area northwest of the Chulitna River, central Alaska Range
C. C. Hawley, A. L. Clark, M.A. Herdrick, S. H. B. Clark
1969, Circular 617
Sedimentary and volcanic rock units of Paleozoic and Mesozoic age, faults, and elongate bodies of intrusive rock, particularly serpentinites, have a dominant northeasterly trend in an area northwest of the Chulitna River between Eldridge Glacier and Bull River. The serpentinites locally contain abnormal (as much as 0.5 percent) concentrations of...
Metalliferous deposits near Granite Mountain, eastern Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Thomas P. Miller, Raymond L. Elliott
1969, Circular 614
New deposits of lead, zinc, and silver were found in a large altered zone 18 miles long and 2 to 5 miles wide near Quartz Creek west of Granite Mountain in the eastern Seward Peninsula, Alaska. New deposits of molybdenum, bismuth, and silver were found associated with a previously reported...
U.S. Geological Survey heavy metals program progress report 1968 - Field studies
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1969, Circular 621
The Heavy Metals program of the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines began in mid-1966 and thus at the end of calendar year 1968 was halfway through its third year. This progress report summarizes field studies carried out under the Geological Survey's part of the program during...
